Bio

I’m a passionate and seasoned InfoSec professional with over 17 years of experience in the security industry. I started my career as a cryptographer at NASA working on the secure messaging system used by the International Space Station. During an unorthodox and unique career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a multitude of different industries and domains ranging from security architecture to offensive security to DevSecOps and everything in between.

My most recent endeavors have been focused on helping others improve their ability to detect and mitigate the impact of breaches and improve their security posture more generally.

I embrace any opportunity to teach fundamental security concepts to those who need help but don’t know where to find it.
